I know I'm not Matt but I know for a fact you can't use front calipers on the rear. Front calipers to suit 355mm disc, rears are 330mm.

Also they arn't for FG falcon, search on google images see what they look like (4 pot fg brembo's).

Those look more similar to redline addition front brembo's on SS commodores (except they are red not silver) or SRT Chrysler (which I think is a bigger disc size).

Those calipers were on eBay cheap recently yeah???
Chrysler SRT8.
You'll need custom rear brackets and some patience.

As mentioned you can't put front 4 pots on the rear for various reasons and those calipers do look like the Chrysler SRT8 ones and we have had a few come through here as the person selling them must be telling everyone they fit fords.

Hi Matt,

The parts that I ordered from you has been delivered.

Judging by the photo that I received from home, everything is pretty much perfect.

Thanks a lot for your help, your reputation for customer service at a decent price is well deserved.
